When the city gate was opened again, the soldiers had already stepped out, their morale was low, and they concentrated their blades in one place and retreated to the side.
"Enter the city", Tai Shi Ci rode his horse and raised his gun, and hundreds of horsemen behind him entered the city one after another.
Soon, he saw the sober Lou County Magistrate in the county office.
"The old man has no eyes, and he doesn't even know General Ziyi's face, and he asks for forgiveness."
The old county ordered "Puff Tong" to kneel on the ground and bow respectfully to Tai Shici.
"Your Excellency, it's serious."
Tai Shici stretched out his hand to help him up, "We are all Hanchen, and what happened before was just a misunderstanding." ” The excitement on the old county commander's face eased slightly, "Thank you, General." ” Then, he looked around, "The general is here, and there are only more than 300 soldiers and horses with him."
His heart was full of shock, although the general in front of him, although he had already had a reputation in the north, he dared to lead 300 horsemen to attack Lou County, which he led 3,000 people to defend, such courage was really unprecedented.
Shame, shame, unwillingness, admiration for him became extremely complicated.
Tai Shici is so mentally minded, but he can see through what the old county commander thinks at a glance, and the corners of his mouth are slightly outlined, "I haven't asked the county magistrate for his name."
"Humble Meng He."
The old county commander immediately came to his senses, and when he bowed down, he happened to see the smile in Tai Shici's eyes, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, he dared to be so presumptuous under the nose of the other party, this guy, but he was not bloody, so he easily took down the fierce general of Lou County.
However, he also understands that he is definitely still of some use, otherwise, the other party will definitely not treat him so gently.
"Meng County Order, our soldiers and horses will arrive here later, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"
Meng He had already prepared for this, and made a move, "County Lieutenant Liu, and tell General Ziyi that there are soldiers and horses in the city." ” County Lieutenant Liu bowed respectfully to Tai Shici, "The soldiers and horses in the city are registered, there were more than 3,600 people, and in the battle just now, a few people were lost, and the cavalry was only 100 people, and most of the rest were foot soldiers, all of whom were strong. ” "It's all strong" Tai Shici's eyes lit up, "I took Wuxi last night, broke thousands of enemies, and captured hundreds, more than half of them are old and weak, but I didn't expect this place to be all strong." ” Meng He flicked his sleeves, "Of the counties of Wu County, only Wu County and Lou County are Shang County, and this place is often attacked by thieves, and most of the old and weak soldiers are used as auxiliaries and people's husbands. ” "Leave a hundred men to defend the city, and all the rest of the soldiers and horses, and go south with me."
Tai Shi Ci glanced up at the sky and instructed Meng He on the side.
"Are there only a hundred people left to defend the city" Meng He's face changed, "Lou County is close to the mountains and the sea, and there are many mountain and sea pirates nearby, and the general must not be" "You just need to plant my lord's banner at the head of the city, the military situation is urgent, Meng County Order, you just came out of the city, and you are already suspected of rebellion, this time, don't you want to atone for your crimes" Tai Shi Ci glared at Meng He coldly, Meng He was so frightened that he could only take a step back, "The old man took the order." ” "Lord Meng, this Ziyi general, you are really willing to let go of the generals under my command" After seeing Tai Shici walk out of the county office, County Lieutenant Liu glanced at Meng He worriedly.
"For the generals, go to the army to strategize, and be courageous."
Meng He glanced at him lightly, "Lord Assassin Shi is the life of the Son of Heaven, and he is also a relative of the Han family, and now he raises troops to fight for thieves, who dares to disobey" County Lieutenant Liu looked at the county order that threw his sleeves away, the suspicion on his face gradually disappeared, nodded thoughtfully, and then waved his big hand and pointed to several officials guarding the county office, "You are still stunned, and quickly sealed the county warehouse, guarded the entrances everywhere, and put up a list of people." ” "Whoa."
At the same time, in Qu'a City, Liu Miao had just put his chopsticks for afternoon dinner.
"Lord, what's wrong" Sun Shao, who was accompanying him, noticed Liu Xuan's sad face.
"It's been two days since my son went south."
"Hmm."
"But there is a war report" "Never."
Liu Xuan sighed, "Changxu, this time my son is going south, how do you feel about the victory?"
"If there is no Taishi Ziyi, it will not be possible."
Liu Miao was slightly stunned, "Why?"
Sun Shao casually took the towel on the case, wiped the corners of his mouth a few times, and his movements were not fast or slow, Rao made Liu Miao a little impatient to wait.
"Taishi Ziyi, when he conquered the Yellow Turban Army, he had a brave name, looking at Wuzhong counties, Wuxi, Youquan and other counties, there were no more than 1,000 generals, as long as he led hundreds of people, and drank in front of the city, he could take it, Chen Yu is not an incompetent person, and because of this, if Taishi Ziyi wins one after another, the lord thinks, what will he do" Liu Miao smiled and pointed at Sun Shao, his old friend, he just likes to answer half-answered.
"Of course, I will be more cautious, and the smarter I am when I deal with them, I will use the right soldiers, but I will fall behind, but it is strange to use the soldiers."
Sun Shao smiled, it seems that his own lord does not know much about the young general, he is wrapped in a manuscript in his belly, and he is waiting to be relieved when he opens his mouth to be relieved, and there is a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Newspaper" The person who came was a messenger soldier, he rushed into the hall quickly, and knelt down on one knee when he stepped into the hall, "Report to the assassination of Lord Shi, the major general has sent a message, our army has captured Wuxi." ” "Oh" Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his big hand, "Hurry up and submit the battle report." ” Glancing left and right, the attendant on the right stepped down into the hall, and soon took the bamboo slip and sent it to Liu Xuan.
Liu Miao glanced at ten lines, and soon handed the bamboo slip to the waiter, and his eyes motioned for him to present it to Sun Shao for browsing.
He was relieved, stroked his beard with one hand, and sighed: "Fang Caiwu is still worried about Qi'er, but I don't want to, he is so knowledgeable and good at using people, Taishi Ziyi, it seems that Xu Zi will know people all his life, but now, he doesn't know Taishi Ziyi." ” "Nearly 100 losses, then attack and capture the city at night, the soldiers and horses under the command of the major general are only more than 2,000 people, and they dare to divide the troops" Sun Shao swept the battle report and found the key.
"Mr.
Changxu, what's wrong?"
asked Liu Xuan eagerly.
Sun Shao handed the bamboo slip to the waiter and smiled calmly, "Without him, since the night attack is successful, if Shao uses troops, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and use our soldiers to coerce the defeated troops in Wuzhong, and flee south, so that he can easily take the enemy city and expand the results of the battle." ” "My son is still young, but it is" Liu Miao glanced at Sun Shao complainingly, his own child is only sixteen, and he can know how to make good use of people, which has already made him feel very relieved "My lord, read the letter, after the capture of the city, General Ziyi has led more than 300 cavalry south to attack Lou County, and the young general is leading 100 cavalry out of the city and is missing."
"Confused, Wuzhong counties, I have not recovered so far, only because the enemy situation is complicated, Wuxi relies on the water of Taihu Lake, the vicinity is mountainous, Shanyue, water thieves often rob the road and seize the city, only lead a hundred horsemen out of the city, Qi'er's move, it is too reckless."
Liu Miao suddenly lifted the bamboo slip, and after looking at it carefully, he slapped it on the case with one hand, and his face instantly became a little ugly
